Description Thomas Seifert 2007-03-31 18:42:24 UTC
pound 2.2.7 has been released on 2007-03-12
and all versions since 2.2.0 fix a lot of bugs and add new enhancements.

http://www.apsis.ch/pound/

Reproducible: Always

pound-2.2.7 is considered experimental which is why it is not in portage...

but i can see the need to get bugs fixed in 2.2...
Comment 2 Thomas Seifert 2007-04-01 09:27:57 UTC
ah, I found the stable/experimental list deep down on the page, sorry for that.

I will bug them on their maillist first to know about their experimental / stable thoughts on the 2.2-line.
Comment 3 Thilo Bangert (RETIRED) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-01 09:52:06 UTC
thanks - i think that would be the way to go... perhaps they can have a stable unstable scheme as the kernel used to have ie. 2.2.1 being bugfixes only, while 2.3.3 contains all the new features...

i don't know.... i can still put in 2.2.7, but i would have to mask it, as i don't want people using the stable version 2.2 to upgrade to it...
Comment 4 Thomas Seifert 2007-04-01 15:14:04 UTC
I don't think it makes much sense to have it in there and masked.
Lets hear first what/if they are going to answer to my mail about stable/experimental versions.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Got a reply
http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2007/2007-04/1175428182000#1175530126000

Seems like they are using "full" versions like 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 as "stable versions" and all other subsequent releases are experimental releases.

So you can close this topic if you like.

yeah, i've seen the reply - but it is really not very satisfying... 
as you say yourself 2.2 has known bugs today...
Comment 7 Thomas Seifert 2007-04-11 14:19:17 UTC
We finally got a new stable release 2.3.
http://www.apsis.ch/pound/pound_list/archive/2007/2007-04/1175703689000#1176298524000

And they are changing the version numbering.
quote from that mail:
---
Due to popular demand, in the future the interim release numbering shall
be changed:
  - bug fixes to the stable release shall be numbered as 2.3.1, 2.3.2 
    and so on.
  - experimental versions shall be numbered 2.4a, 2.4b and so on. The
    next stable release shall be 2.4. In the unlikely event of more 
    than 26 interim releases we'll consider tagging in Unicode.[...]
